This is getting a little tedious! I know Opera is pretty secure overall, but to have yet another published vulnerability the day after 7.52 was released is a bit "IE-ish"!

I'm sure Opera engineers are hard at work on it and since I have a fast connection it's not really a big issue for me when the fix is released.

Well, Mozilla just released new versions of their products, so it's not just Opera that's squishing the security bugs

. That flaw should have been addressed in 7.5.2 though.

I tried this with both Mozilla 1.7 and Opera 7.52 for Linux. It appears to affect Opera, but not Mozilla.

If 0.9.2 fixes this issue, why does their revision still show 1.7? Shouldn't that have been 1.7.1??
